A little bit of dangerously soft-headed Scandinavia, right in the American heartland, Minnesota must just be bursting with multicultural, non-judgmental pride over its Muslim representative in Congress, Keith Ellison:

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) said on Wednesday that the Islamic State is “as Islamic as the Ku Klux Klan is Christian.”

CNSNews.com asked Ellison: “The Atlantic magazine’s Graeme Wood recently wrote that ‘the Islamic State is Islamic. Very Islamic’ and that ‘the religion preached by its most ardent followers derives from coherent and even learned interpretations of Islam.’ Do you agree that the Islamic State is Islamic?”

Rep. Ellison said: “I do not agree. It’s as Islamic as the Ku Klux Klan is Christian, right. It is, of course, you know, the Ku Klux Klan uses Christian rhetoric. They throw crosses around. But what person going to church on any given Sunday recognizes that as their faith? And so, that’s the same way that I believe that ISIS is Islamic.”

“I can tell you that I go to Mosque every Friday and I go all over this country and meet Muslims every day, and all of them look at ISIS with tremendous horror,” said Ellison, who is a Sunni Muslim. “And, by the way, ISIS kills Muslims more than anybody else.”

Who knew that KKK stood for Ku Klux Khristian? And as far as ISIS killing Muslims, that’s only because they haven’t arrived in the West in full numbers yet. They’re just practicing in Syria and “Iraq,” honing their edge and sharpening their knives. Ellison knows this, and yet he takes a seat in Congress. Disgraceful.
